Boas, tive um Golf V durante 12 anos. Usei molas de rebaixamento + amortecedores sport (koni), usei suspensão original com molas de rebaixamento e por fim usei coilovers.
I have Koni reds. I just wanted to rid of the wafty ride, and it fixed it up. It is a little too firm now for my liking but still better than original
Looks fine, and acts like a shock. That shop just trying to scam you. Bump stops looking torn, but that's fine. Use them as long as possible, eventually upgrade to Koni Yellows if they make it for the Mini's.
I switched to Koni special actives (red) and like them more than stock
People keep saying Bilstein, but I’d highly recommend Koni yellows. I’ve had Bilstein b6/b8 and they always get harsh over broken pavement. The Konis are much more smooth, less bouncy, just much nicer overall. They have knobs for rebound adjustment as well.
I finally bit the bullet this week and ordered a full set of Special Active shocks from KONI (who I believe licenses their Frequency Selective Damper technology to Tesla)
The result is way better than I expected!! I don’t regret it one bit! It basically ate up all the small bumps on the road. I regularly find myself going over 90mph on the highway without realizing because of how smooth it is!! And this is with the stock springs.
I have FOX... I'd buy them again...
I have Koni stocks and H&R springs with a 20 mm lift (barely noticeable). I like the way the car became more stable and controlled on gravel and highways. However, springs are considerably stiffer, and with 1-2 passengers suspension feels a bit rigid, but just great when the car is fully loaded.
I've been using the Koni Golds (FSD) for many thousands of miles. They are really really good at 80mph, but in town they shake my teeth loose and bump and klunk like crazy.
factory FOX shocks knocked over road bumps (valving issue - needed to be replaced)
